We have arrived at our destination, having had many learnings along this wondrous and expanding journey. The final episode of 'Where the needle lands', an Idiro Analytics podcast series, asks you our listener, "Where does your needle land now that you are more informed and thought provoked by our guests who are industry leading lights?" Having achieved the #1 spot often was worthy of back clapping but the real triumph and satisfaction came in the form of observing listeners opening up to a discussion on the impact of technology, AI and the possible future of technology in all our respective lives and our own responsibility in the evolution of tech user experience. ‘Where the needle lands’ set out to make the tech discussion more accessible to all and therefore debatable and idea processing. Achieving that and getting the channels of communication open and flowing was a reward in and of itself. We would like to express our gratitude to Idiro Analytics for their constant support. A huge thank you to all our guests, each of our followers and listeners for contributing to the podcast's great success, covering topics such as taking responsibility, team playing, leadership, purpose, digital transformation, 5G, data privacy and sovereignty, sustainability, DE&I, data sharing and AI ethics. When listening to this episode, which is a compilation of quotations from each and everyone of our guests, with the resulting juxtaposition of mind sets and varying perspectives, will allow you to sum up for yourself, where your needle has landed on your map! Enjoy and thank you.

In today's episode, we are speaking with John Walsh, CTO of Fujitsu Ireland, where they promote a Human Centric Intelligent Society, meaning the key emphasis being that people are placed first and then the technology design. We learn how the Japanese company has its particular approach to doing business. John also talks of how an optimised integration approach is the force that enables tech companies to leverage what is already available and possibly avoid needless large capital investment. What is hyperconnectivity all about and do we really need to be end to end connected as a society? And the extension of 5G to 5GE. There has never been a more exciting time in history where ICT is concerned, for eg. where large scale complex medical research can be completed in days rather than years now. As tech grads qualifications transcend all borders in the world, John gives tips on the winning formula for employee retention and the traits he looks for in the workplace and ‘diversity of mindsets’ being one, because “When the only tool that you have is a hammer - every problem looks like a nail."

Jason Ward shares his views on how cognitive diversity spawns from avoiding echo chambers filled with yes people, netting broader, deeper innovation and creativity. Concerning sales efforts, Jason straddles effortlessly between SMEs and enterprise organisations when selling into them. Added to that, the value of channel partners and the verticalization of customers to truly understand what the customer does. The Dell Ireland brand with its own unique fortes, ensures its rightful differentiation from brand Dell International....as the world moves more to AI, ML and edge computing, Dell Ireland is developing solutions around such innovations by being a base for those types of capabilities that attract investment to Ireland. Along with shared industry leaders, their political outreach efforts for Ireland Inc to remaining competitive and part of the progressing of high performance computing creativity. The healthcare business - Dell's aspirations and input into this sector and how Dell can support a better delivery for patient outcome. Jason illustrates this possibility of enabling better preventative healthcare initiatives. Plus demystifying IT and data share for the common good, and the new age of human transformation, to the challenges of getting to a 50:50 CXO suite with the IT labour shortage in Ireland generally but particularly around IT female talent availability. Jason provides some of the keys to life acquired through his own experiences and learnings from some on the field as a footballer and off the field lessons of his father, all shaped him to know that anything is possible, being optimistic and a proactive decision maker.

Openet became the largest indigenous Irish software company.... Part 1 of 2 - Niall Norton has had an awe-inspiring career to date, from management in Deloitte, CFO of 02 Ireland, CFO and CEO of Openet, with numerous accolades and awards that acknowledge his accomplishments as a true captain of industry. While Niall does complexity very well, he rounds off discussion humorously, so his nuggets of facts and information transcend easily from this very self aware man. Covered in part 1; Niall’s search for his true purpose and how one's purpose in the end serves others. To handling near death career experiences and remaining steady in the process. And a 'how-to' of sorts from the man who grew Openet into the largest indigenous Irish software company. Then the secret recipe to a successful long term collaboration of a founder and a CEO - respectively; the Joe Hogan and Niall Norton friendship - a true model of excellence in leadership collegiality. Then in part 2 of the session that turned out to be a masterclass in leadership by Niall Norton. Additional content is available to subscribers.

This episode will bring you on the whistle stop tour of this CEO’s career to date, while nailing exactly what 'Digital transformation' is about, by exploring; digitisation, digitalisation and digital transformation. Gary’s engaging and educator-like journey spans from how the use of data brings more value, be it to universities, infrastructure, all the way to 'mobility-as-a-service'. COVID dispersion necessitates additional considerations and we discuss hidden diversity, unconscious bias and conscious inclusion. Adaptive leadership can help to get the psychosocial elements right for the future working hybrid maintaining team spirit. The need to re-invent rather than simply replace water cooler interactions, is a prerequisite for a "sustainable normal" after Covid.

‘Gallagher’s Boxty House’ owner, restaurateur, brewer, former Restaurant Association President Pádraic Óg Gallagher bring Geraldine and Mahima through the changes of his beloved restaurant industry and the many challenges already overcome. Pre-covid, restaurants were facing decreasing margins, increasing regulations and escalating costs of doing business. What now after lock-down? Plus what post-Covid restaurants will look like and the profile of the new dining set? Are cloud kitchens, with the newly formed consumer behaviour dictating ‘how’ we will dine and ‘what’? We discuss how technology via delivery service apps; UBER, Just-eat, Lynk and Deliveroo are gaining a stronger foothold in the industry, which is carving out the new face(less) of what is meant by restaurant ‘service’. Can restaurants continue doing something they truly enjoy, cater to their customers changing expectations and make money?

To Geraldine's mind, Huawei is enabling a nation wide advanced digital infrastructure, ushering a new era with the rollout of 5G in Ireland. She claims that this is good news for Irish businesses, FDI and greater society, as it lends to a better lifestyle quality. She challenges the widely held claims that the Chinese government is using Huawei technology to spy on users in countries where citizens have access to Huawei's 5G and questions the motives behind the countries that have banned the use of Huawei totally, such as the US, Canada, the UK, Sweden and Australia. Mahima on the other hand, urges caution and suggests that the process of Huawei's 5G in Ireland should be slowed down until all the investigations on the contentious issue of how Huawei are a national security threat has been completed. Mahima argues that the potential costs can be much higher than the myriad of benefits purported, if proper housekeeping and regulation is not undertaken.
